    Great to see some reviews of the Velgarth universe! Winds should always be read before Storms, and Owl after Storms. Then Kelvren's saga. I read Arrows in 1994, and have read all of them at least half a dozen times, except the anthologies. I recommend publication order because there are some secrets and puzzles for the reader to decipher. If you skip around the clues won't make sense! The Founding trilogy should always be last in your reading outside the anthologies. Way too many spoilersà

    Thanks for sharing this! I had my heart set on the Moxi Lolly, but when I tried them on in a local store they were extremely narrow on my foot. I was sized for a 5, but my foot felt bound and crippled inside. The size 6 felt better, but I’m worried about ending up with them not fitting properly. Now I’m looking into the GH because they seem much higher quality for a similar price. How do you think the sizes compare in Moxi vs GH? I’m wanting them mostly to do some outdoor rhythm dancing and cruising. Do you think the pink style of GH would be good for this? Thanks so much!

    • @sophiasthoughts
      @sophiasthoughts 3 месяца назад

      I just checked and my moxis are a 10, GH are a 9 which is my normal street shoe size but with some space in the toes. I have narrow to normal feet but the GH are wider anyway and, of course, with leather you're going to get some stretch anyway. My pink ones are the street magic and I've skated them outside and for jamming, they work great for both in my opinion. If you're wanting to do lots of work where you need to point your foot then you might be better with the dance classic range because they're cut lower in the back. Feel free to DM me on Instagram if you want to chat about them at all xxx

    I've been with Illumicrate since December. I've only gotten one box (basically the mandatory one you have to get when you're first accepted), but I've skipped every box since. The special editions are nice, the little trinkets are cool. But I quickly realized I could get 2-4 books I'm genuinely interested in for the same price as these box/book subscriptions that come with a single book that I may or may not be interested in. I've been on FL waiting list for months, but I doubt I'll bite whenever a spot finally opens up. I'll probably drop/cancel my illumicrate sub as well.

    Great Video. I've loved the Valdemar universe books (with a few exceptions like the Mage War series) since I first read Arrows of the Queen when I was 13 (30 odd years ago!). Though I don't think that being chosen necessarily gives the chosen their gifts/magic. I think the chosen/heralds are born with those gifts (like bards having the bardic gifts and healers having the healing gifts) and part of the reason they are chosen is because they have those gifts. Being Chosen just makes the gift "active" though the bond. I hope that makes sense. I probably won't read Kelvrens Saga (tried the first book and had to dnf it). I can't seems to get into the series about gryphons, vales, hawkbrothers etc (Owlsight being an exception and I think that was mostly because I liked Keisha)

      @@sophiasthoughts You’d think that one of the biggest bookish boxes would have less garbage online systems but oh well. And if ToG makes it to general sale I’ll 100% try to snag it. I wonder if I know any US people with fairyloot who don’t like tog I can get it from 💀🤣🤣🤣

    I love Lackey's works and I'm steadily working through her whole booklist. I love the Valdemar series, but what I love about Lackey is her ability to create different series, different worlds, with the same richness of writing. I love the Elemental Masters series, the Joust series and the Obsidian series, too.

      I read Joust towards the end of last year and really enjoyed it. I think, for me, her character work is what makes her books great

      @@sophiasthoughts I totally agree! For me, opening a Lackey book is like falling into a world and living in it along with the characters.

      For fairyloot they do have an account where they reveal the books (fairyloot.book.reveal) but mostly I rely on theautumnbookreads on Instagram, I haven't yet known her to be wrong 👍🏻
